Our take on Edge of Space
Its broad survival sandbox trades a tightly directed adventure for systems-driven play, requiring attention to resource collection, base development, combat, and environmental hazards.
What is Edge of Space?
Edge of Space is a 2D sandbox survival game set on a randomly generated alien world.
After a spacecraft malfunction, an Ark Corporation operative must descend to the planet and gather resources while facing hostile creatures, environmental hazards, and unusual world events. Resources can be used to make armor, weapons, facilities, vehicles, and other equipment. The base can grow from basic structures into a fortified command center with defensive turrets, hangars, repair drones, and electrical systems built through a drag-and-drop tool. Exploration includes caverns, wormhole anomalies, and deeper planetary areas. Players can also research technologies, collect assisting pets, fight bosses, cooperate in multiplayer, and alter the land through terraforming.
